MorbidMeter

What if your entire lifespan was compressed into a single year, or a single month, day, or hour? What would be the precise day, hour, minute, second right now in that compressed time period? Or maybe you're curious how many days, hours, minutes or seconds you've been alive, or how many of those precious moments you have left. MorbidMeter is a perverse standalone watch app that puts your lifespan into perspective using various timescales that are easier (or sometimes harder) to grasp than an actual lifetime. MorbidMeter can also be used as a countdown widget to count down to other (not as morbid) events, such as retirement or graduation. Time is running out -- MorbidMeter lets you know how quickly!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MorbidMeter at every 6 weeks against MySequence's every 6 months. MorbidMeter also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
